Today I went and spoke at the Intro to Entrepreneurship class at Brigham Young University.  Speaking to the students is one of my very favorite things to do because I look out into the crowd of young faces and I see so much about them that they haven\u2019t even begun to recognize yet.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve sat in their seats a long time ago – thirty years ago to be exact \u2013 I\u2019ve felt those feelings of uncertainty they feel as they are trying to figure out what direction to go with their lives.  I\u2019ve experienced the insecurities of wondering if I\u2019d ever be good enough to do anything great. And I\u2019ve been afraid that I wouldn\u2019t even be able to muster up enough courage to try. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But 30 years later I can look at them knowing their futures are going to be full of incredible adventures as they explore new things, and with each attempt they will open their minds to an entire world of possibilities that exists.  I look at them knowing that the dreams they have today are so small compared to the dreams God actually has in store for them.   And I can look at them knowing that as they move forward with courage and faith they are going to discover that the canvas of their life is going to become a masterpiece.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTwenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn\u2019t do than by the ones you did.  So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.  Explore. Dream. Discover.\u201d  – Mark Twain<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether we are 18 or 80, we are never too old to live an incredible life so get out there and EXPLORE, DREAM, & DISCOVER because your masterpiece is just getting started!\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
